ZING went the strings of my heart. I'm in love. Driving this 40z at 24-28 knots in large 6—8 footers off Palm Beach was as much fun as I can remember driving a powerboat. Billy Black was there in a helicopter to catch the action while Capt. Ken Kreisler was with me as co-pilot in the port seat.
This 6 minute video shows the boat going into the waves upwind, across beam seas with great stability and running downsea with great control. The MJM 40z and the Nordhavn 40 are the only known boats earning the highest ISO IMCI Certification of Category A Ocean... a function of design, structural strength and stability in waves.

Maybe hard to believe, but you could freeze frame and zoom in to see that I'm one hand steering from the pilot's seat. No white knuckles here. There was such control that the autopilot could handle the driving with the helmsman being just a spectator.
